AceShowbiz - Jamie Foxx praised Chris Brown while he was talking with E! News. The 47-year-old singer who has known Brown since he was a teen admitted that he has changed into a more responsible and caring person than ever after becoming a father to his 11-month-old daughter Royalty.
"I've known Chris since he was 15 years old and he would come to my house and kick it and party with my sister who has Down syndrome," so Foxx said of Brown. "And [he would] dance with her and people would ask me how I know Chris and I've known this kid since he was a pup."
"I just felt like, you know, in our business you could've thrown money at it," Foxx went on telling the news outlet. "And to see him take that step and really take care of his daughter... that is not to be overly commended because it's what he's supposed to do, but you know how this business can be."
The "Living Better Now" singer added, "I thought that, for him, to see his smile now is just different to me and I hope he doesn't mind me saying that. It was great to see that."
Prior to Foxx, another Hollywood star Tyrese Gibson praised Brown in a lenghty Instagram post, saying that he inspired young fathers to start spending time getting involved with their kids. "Chris my bro! Use this moment - Use this God given stage to give other young kings permission to get more involved with their kids...." so he captioned a pic of Brown and his baby. "Young Fathers who look UP to you will say ( #Breezy is proudly involved with his daughter so what the hell am I doing ).??"
Brown recently expressed his love to Royalty in a touching message on Instagram. "I honestly never knew I could love someone as strong as I do," Brown captioned a snap of Royalty sleeping while being covered with pink blanket. "I'm gonna give her the world."
